25、. outside第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）ACOLUMBUS, Ohio The heart operation taking place in the pale-green operating room at the Ohio State University Medical Center was unusual. The patient, a 62-year-old man, was made to sleep, tied with blue drapes（消毒帷帘）and lying face up on a narrow table. But no on
26、e was touching him. Instead, the operation was being performed by a robot, whose three metal arms went through pencil-sized holes in the mans chest. At the ends of the robots arms were tiny metal fingers, with turning wrists, which held a tiny instrument, a light and a camera. The robots arms and fi
27、ngers were controlled by Dr. Randall K. Wolf, sitting at a computer in a corner of the operating room about 20 feet away.This sort of operation, heart surgeons say, is the start of what may be the biggest change in their profession since heart bypass surgery（心脏搭桥手术）began nearly 30 years ago. “The re
28、ason we make cuts is that we have big hands,” said Dr. Wolf , the director of the surgery at Ohio State. The robots dainty fingers, no longer than a nail on the small finger, at the end of the long sticks could work better.Eventually, surgeons believe, most heart surgery will be done by robots whose
29、 arms are put in through pencil-sized holes punched in patients chests. Instead of directly staring into a patients body, surgeons will view magnified images of the operation on computer screens. In theory, the doctor would not have to be in the same room, or even the same country, as the patient.56
30、. In this passage, the underlined word “dainty” means _.A. small B. weak C. fat D. quick57. According to the passage, the reason that most operations require large cuts is that _.A. patients have large organs B. surgeons have large handsC. large cuts take less time D. large cuts cost less money58. T
31、he main idea of this passage is that heart surgery by robots _.A. is quicker than surgery done by doctorsB. was developed at Ohio State UniversityC. is a new and risky procedure D. may replace surgery done by doctors59. Based on the information in this passage, all of the following conclusions are t
32、rue EXCEPT_.A. All doctors at Ohio Sate develop new surgical techniquesB. Robot surgery is being developed at Ohio StateC. Robot surgery will be used on many patients in the near futureD. Many hospitals will eventually offer robot surgery to patients B Singapore is aiming to triple its number of int
33、ernational students from 50,000 to 150,000 in the next 10 to 15 years by encouraging a range of private, specialist and foreign educational institutions to establish themselves in the country. While Singapore is already home to a number of foreign institution campuses offering graduate studies, the
34、Economic Development Board (EDB) is hoping to encourage universities from the UK, USA or Australia to open a campus that will offer undergraduate courses, in competition with the three local universities. A Singapore-based university campus would charge the same tuition fees（学费）as in its home countr
35、y and 70 per cent of students are expected to come from overseas. The board is also hoping to attract a range of foreign specialist schools in areas such as hospitality, fashion and cooking.Teo Ming Kian, Chairman of EDB, said, “Having more quality foreign and local private education players will br
36、ing out creation of new knowledge and a variety of offerings via competition. This will bring us a step closer towards being an attractive education centre.”Last August, the Singapore Tourist Board announced the launch of “Singapore Education”, an umbrella brand that is the spearhead for Singapores
37、image as a premier education hub overseas. The board plans to develop a full range of publicity materials to market and promote Singapores education services in key student markets such as China, India and Indonesia. A website containing information for students will also be developed.Singapores Tra
38、de and Industry Minister, George Yeo, explained that 45 per cent of the 1.8 million students worldwide studying in foreign countries came from Asia. “As more Asians strive to follow in the footsteps of those who have succeeded in developed countries, they create a huge demand for educational service
39、s, most of which will be met in Asia itself,” he explained.The EDB has calculated that foreign students spend between about US$3,000 and US$8,000 every year on top of tuition fees.60. According to the passage, all of the following statements are true EXCEPT that _.A. a foreign student in Singapore s
40、pends 3,000 to 8,000 US dollars besides tuition fees.B. Singapore welcomes all kinds of educational institutions to run education in the country.C. the Singapore Tourist Board is trying its best to attract international students.D. there are 1.8 million students worldwide studying in Singapore at pr
41、esent.61. The authors main purpose in writing the passage is to _. A. persuade as many international students as possible to study in Singapore.B. inform readers of Singapores intention of becoming an education center.C. improve Singapores education services via international competition.D. strength
42、en Singapores economy by attracting investment to its education.62. What does the underlined word “strive” probably mean?A. struggleB. competeC. supportD. agreeCAttention to detail is something everyone can and should do-especially in a tight job market. Bob Crossley, a human-resources expert notice
43、s this in the job applications that come cross his desk every day. “Its amazing how many applicants turn themselves down,” he says.“Resumes（简历）arrive with ink marks. Some applicants dont bother to spell the companys name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I turn down the applicant,” Crossley concludes
44、. “If they cannot take care of these details, why should we trust them with a job?”Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. “To keep from losing the forest for the trees,” says Charles Garfield,
45、 associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, “we must constantly ask ourselves how the details were working on fit into the larger picture. If they dont, we should drop them and move to something else.”Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA
46、. “The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time,” says Garfield. “but a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates（坐标）of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary.” Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance o
47、f every task we undertake.Too often we believe what leads to others success is some special secret or good luck. But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow.63.According to the passage, some job applicants were
48、rejected because _.A. they didnt describe their background in detail B. they removed their names from the applicants list C. companies cant afford to employ careless persons D. companies want well educated persons with good spelling64.A person can be described as a “perfectionists” if he _.A. demand
49、s others to get everything absolutely rightB. makes necessary adjustments when achieving his goalC. pays too much attention to details only to lose his major objectiveD. manages to achieve perfect results in whatever they do65.Which of the following is the authors advice to the reader?A. Mind detail
50、s when drawing pictures.B. You can never be too careful.C. Always bear in mind the importance of a task.D. Proper attention to details does pay66.The example of the Apollo II moon launch is given to show that _.A. minor mistakes are not important in achieving major objectivesB. keeping ones goal in
51、mind helps in making adjustmentsC. making adjustments plays the most important role in the success of workD. scientists are not supposed to make any mistakes in their scientific work67.The best title for this passage would be _.A. Secret of success lies in good luck B. Details and objectivesC. Perfe
52、ct or practical, thats the question D. Always adjusting your courseDIt is becoming increasingly clear that there is a direct link between eating habits and health. Heart disease causes the loss of 180,000 lives in Britain every year. At least two million British people are believed to have heart pro
53、blems. What can be done about this?Let us begin by looking first at nutrient needs:BoyGirlMaleFemaleAge (years)5 115 1112 +12 +Fat (g)65 8560 757570Fiber (g)20 2520 2525 3025 30Calcium (mg)700 +700 +500 +500 +Iron (mg)12121012Energy (calories)1700 20001600 20001800 +2000 +This table shows that there
54、 is not much difference between the nutrient and energy needs of adults and children over the age of five. Even though children are much smaller, they need large amounts of all nutrients because they are growing. In fact, they need more calcium and Vitamin D than adults, to ensure that their bones a
55、nd teeth are strong.British eating habits are changing. There is a much greater variety of foods to choose from nowadays. Also, the population is realizing how choice of food can affect health. As a result, people are eating less fat, sugar and salt and more fiber-rich foods. This is undoubtedly doi
56、ng a lot to reduce heart disease. For example, research in 1983 by the U.K. Department of Health and Social Security into childrens eating habits showed that: 30% ate too much fat; many diets were too heavily dependent on chips, cakes and biscuits; it has not been found out that any of the children
57、were suffering for lack of these nutrients; children who were out of school at lunchtimes at cafs, fast food shops, etc. had lower intakes of many nutrients than other children. In particular girls were short of iron.To reduce the risk of heart disease, there are two major changes that are needed in
58、 the way people in Britain eat:1）the amount of fat eaten must be reduced;2）the amount of foods rich in fiber must be increased. If this is done, then the British people will be much healthier. 68.What is the purpose of this article?A. To show how many people are suffering from heart disease in Brita
59、in.B. To show what kinds of nutrient people need in their bodies.C. To show in what way the British have changed their eating habits.D. To discuss how to reduce heart disease in Britain.69. How does the author support his view points in the article?A. By using scientific data and the results of rese
60、arch.B. By describing the cases of heart disease.C. By listing advantages and disadvantages of different eating habits.D. By criticizing (批评) wrong eating habits.70. What conclusion can be drawn from the nutrient table?A. Adults need more nutrient and energy than children over the age of five.B. Adu
61、lts and children above five years of age need roughly the same nutrient and energy.C. The male usually need more nutrient and energy than the female.D. Adults dont need calcium and Vitamin because they have stopped growing.71.The research into childrens eating habits in 1983 showed that _.A. the num
62、ber of children who ate too much fat was acceptableB. school children should have their lunch at homeC. chips, cakes and biscuits should be reduced in childrens dietsD. lack of nutrients didnt affect childrens health very muchEShe is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. But, at nea
63、rly 500 years of age, time is catching up with Mona Lisa.The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum where it is honest.“The thin wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa was painted in oil has changed shape since ex
64、perts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the worlds most famous panting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italians artist used and their power chemical state.Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many
65、attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when youre not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Living stone of Harvard University. “Its because direct vision is excellent at picking up detail, but less suit
66、ed to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”72What experts worry most is _ of the Mona Lisa.Athe age of the famous pantingBhow to keep the famous paintingCwhat to do with the changes of the famous paintingDwhere is suited to the famous painting73According to the passage, its _ t
67、hat interests the visitors all over the world.Athe wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa was painted Bthe painter of the Mona LisaCthe place where the Mona Lisa was keptDthe Mona Lisas smile74We can learn from the passage that _.ADa Vinci painted the “smile” in a particular wayBMona Lisa seems to be a
